Thomas Daughaday was a man of a slender con- 
-Stitution ; but great meckness of spirit, gentlencss 
of manners and goodness of heart. : 
_ He suffered much in the last year of his life, from 
a cough and pain in his breast; and frequently spit 
-blood. Nevertheless, he still exerted the feeble re- 
mains of dying nature, in proclaiming salvation 
through Jesus Christ, to a lost and ruined world. | 
, He bore his last illness with great patience, and re-- 
signation. He saw death approaching with rapid 
strides ; but through the promises of the gospel, and 
the consolations of the spirit; he was enabled tomeet 
the king of terrors without dismay. And eyen when 
death. had nearly compleated his conquest over all in 
him that was mortal, his reason still maintained its. 
empire, and the last words which he was heard. to. 
articulate was, “Glory ! Glory!” And then like an ex- 
piring lamp, or the seting sun without a cloud,. he: 
fella sleep. He has left a widow and two children, to: 
mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and tender: 
father: And the name of Daughaday ‘vill long be: _ 
gear to many in the Circuits where he travelled. 


_ 2. THOMAS L. BUDD. a native of New Mills,, 
Burlington County, state of New-Jersey. He was- 
born February 19, 1783, and about the year 1800 was. 
converted to God, and attached himself to the Meth-. 
odist Church. He was received as a travelling preach-. 
er at the Philadelphia Conference in 1803, and ap- 
pointed to the Redstone Circuit. He travelled Berke- 
ley in 1804, Clarksburg in 1805, Greenbrier in 1806; 
he was appointed to Fells-Point. and Fells-Point Cir- 
cuit in 1807, Montgomery in 1808, Burlington in 1809,. 
and stationed in Philadelphia in 1810, where he ended: 
his days in peace, July 10, in the 28th year of his age, _ 

and the seventh of his ministry. 
- - He died ofa pulmonary affection, a complaint to-- 
which he was constitutionally predisposed ; ‘it was 
sudden in its attack, and progressed rapidly to a fatal 
termination. Thomas L. Budd was a young man of 
good natural.and improved abilities ; he was both ac- 


16 
ceptable and useful as a preacher ‘and 
teemed in all the stations he filled ; he 
good moral character and pious in. his life and conduct, 
he was open and free in his manners, a stranger to 
dissimulation, capable of warm attachments C d- 
ship, and exceedingly candid and fr 
character. In the first of his illness, his mind etal 
much depressed occasioned by the doubts he | 
tained of his acceptance with God; but it pinkie’ 
. the Lord that that state of mind should not long con-° 
tinue, for the cloud suddenly burst and his soul was 
filled with joy and peace in believing, and although he | 
was frequently harassed with temptations afterwards ; | 
yet at intervals he rejoiced in the God of his salvation 
and proclaimed he felt Jesus to be precious, and ap-- 
pealed to those that were present if they did not oP 
experience the same consolation in him. 

* He was asked some few hours before Hedisddlatioks: 
whether he knew his end was approaching, and also, - 
whether he felt ready to meet it? he answered, he 
had no pre-sentiment that death was very near; but 
that if it was the will of God, he had rathet go at * that’ 
time, unless he had the fullest assurance, that at # fu- 
ture period he shouid feel his mind in the same byt 

- py frame itthen was. The a after his death, h ay 
mains were taken to New-Mills, accompanied 
number of his friends, and intcined apighiim ta 


ik in his general | 


esa mothe 
the place of his birth. A sermon was preached the . 


occasion by one of his colleagues, to a and. dee 
ly affected congregation, on these words of the oele= 


brated apostle St. Paul, ‘ I have fought a good fight, ¥ 


I have finished my course,I have kept the faitl hence- 
forth there is laid up for me a crown of : ess, 
which the Lord, the righteous joes Bie me

3. WILLIAM KEITH was eink i in ae of 
Easton, Massachusetts, September 15, 1776. By the 
account which he has left: of himself, he | ad serious 
exercises of mind from the time he was eight years, 
old; but by the influence of bad Sas ee he was.

kept under bondage to sin, until.some.time in the 
month of May 1794. in his eighteenth year, when ina 
love-feast he found the peace of God to his soul. He 
soon after joined the Methodist-Church, and was faith- 
ful in the discharge of his duty as a private member. 
It was not long, however, before he felt his mind ex- 
ercised about preaching the gospel of the Son of God. 
He felt that reluctance tothe work, which is common 
to those who are sensible of its in)portance, and their 
own inadequacy to the task. After many-severe exer- 


_ cises and sore conflicts, he inthe year 1798 trembling- 


ly entered the work of the ministry ; and it was soon 
seen that he was in the order of God, by-the visible 
fruits of his labour in the Lord. This year he was 

stationed in the Albany circuit. ‘Having te ride,” 
says he, “ three hundred miles in four weeks. and 

“ preach forty-three times, and sometimes travel on 

“foot through storms and snows, I was so worn out, 

“ that in the month of April 1799. I returned home un- 
“ able to ride any more.””? According te his own ac- 
count, after desisting from travelling. though he main- 

tained the form; and supported an unspotted charac- 

ter as to his outward deportment, he insensibly lost 
the inward life and power of religion in a considerable 

degree. Some of the preachers, seeing his dangery- 
reproving him in too harsh a manner, instead.of: re- 

claiming hin, it tended to prejudice his mind against 

them, and to sink him into dejection, so. that. in the 

antumn of 1801, he withdrew from the connection.* 

While in this state he visited various denominations, 
by some of which he was solicitedto join himself as a 

minister, but to this he could not:feel: free to consent. 

After about one year and an half, he saw it his duty te 

return to the people from whom.he had withdrawn. 

On this occasion he says, “ A's soon as I consented to 

‘* bear the cross, and join the Methodists again, L-felt._ 
“a return of the favour of God, and could truly:says. 
“© My Jesus is mine and.I am his:” He laboured asa 
“local preacher about two years when he again entered...

the itinerant connection, in which he continued until. 
hisdeath. In the year 1806 and 1807 he was stationed 
in Newburgh circuit, and in 1808 in Montgomery, at > 
which places, and indeed wherever he has been sta- 
tioned, he was received by the people as a messenger 
of God ; for his ministerial labours were blessed to 
many. In 1809 he was stationed'in New-York, where 
he ended his days upon earth, September 7, 1810,aged 
33 years, 11 months, and 23 days. He wasted away 

_by slow and almost imperceptible degrees, with the 
‘consumption ; but patience was made perfect in his 
sufferings. The writer of this memoir lived under 

-the same roof with him for about two months of his - 
dast illness, and therefore had an opportunity of ob- 
serving himattentively. For sometime previous to 
‘his death, he was unable to articulate loud, so that he 
could converse but little. - Though he frequently ex- 
pressed his wanf of sensible consolation, anda desire 
for greater manifestations of God’s joyful countenance; 

_ yet no murmuring word was heard to drop from his: 
lips, nor any consciousness of condemnation. A plea- 
sant smiling countenance visibly indicated the Inward 
serenity and tranquility of his mind. ; mJ 

A‘tew days before his happy spirit departed, he 

‘said, “ The fear of death and hell is wholly taken 
away, and I have a hope of immortality.” He also. 
said, that Ais views of the filan of salvation were the 
same as they had been since he embraced the religion of — 
Jesus Christ ; and that we might tell his friends that 
he died in the Lord. Pei ern | Mee 

One distinguished trait in the character of William 
Keith was humility. Perhaps no man ever possessed 
more real excellence, and at the same time had a less. 
opinion of himself. Perhaps this was one cause of that. 

“dejection of mind which was sometimes visible, and: 
which, no doubt, prevented him from enjoying him-: 
self as wellas he otherwise mjght have done. Ano- 
ther peculiarexcellence with which the great Head of 
‘the Church blessed him, was clearness Diccncoeida, 
readiness of utterance, and comprehensiveness in ar-- 
gument, It has often been remarked that he possess-. 


- 


5 
ed dictiipy art of expressing much useful matter in 
_a few well chosen words. Sound in doctrine, deep in 


experience, and uniform in_ practice, he was able to 


look a congregation in the face, while he denounced 
the terrors of the law to sinners, and administered the 
“promises of the gospel to mourners and to believers. 
“The unction of the Holy Spirit which anointed his 
word, more than compensated for his want of a classi- 
‘cal education, which, though good in its place, can 
“never supply the absence of an heart-felt experience 
of divine truth. The happy, and sometimes astonish- 
‘ing effects of his ministry, demonstrated that he was 


~sent by Jesus Christ, to declare unto mankind the aw- | 


- ful truths of heaven, and to beseech sinners to be re- 
conciled to God. He had failings no doubt, but as the 

~ writer ofthis was unacquainted with them, he cannot 
tell what they were. But he isno more inthis world. 
‘He is gone to reap the reward of those who continue 
‘faithful to death. May we emulate his virtues, and se 
prepare to join him i in praising God and the Lamb 
for ever. 

He left a widow and three children; andthe ecpie 
of New-York have shewn their love "which they had 
for the dead, while living, by oe benevolence to the 

> widow and-fatherless. 


_ 4 WILLIAM HUNT was born at East-Sidbury, 
Middlesex County, Massachusetts June 9, 1787. “At 
an early period he manifested a mild and amiable 
temper of mind, united with a strong inclination to 
reading and close thinking. But from the unhappy 


circumstance of reading books, and hearing conversa- | 


tion tending to invalidate the Christian religion, he not 
/ only doubted the truth of, but entertained strong pre- 
, judices against the scriptures. 

When about fifteen years old he first attended the 
preaching of the Methodists, where he first received 
those-religious impressiens which brought him to the 
knowledge of himself, and- Jesus Christ his Saviour. 
‘Convinced of the depth, extent, and consequence of 
sin, with a penitential heart he approached to the Re- 


ir 


- 20 


deemer, and apmhveg the witness of eet in his 
blood. 

From the a of his conversion, he manifested an 
unusual attachment to the Holy Scriptures ; d not- 
withstanding his intense application to Academical 
studies, he.was accustomed to | ope collate, and com- 
mit to memory certain portions the sacred wriGnes, 
daily. 

He was licensed to preach i in 1805 ; and admitted on 
trial as a travelling preacher in 1806; and was/ap- 
pointed to Orington circuit. In 1807 he was ‘stationed 
a Conway circuit; in 1808 he was appointed © to 

ridgwater, New-Hampshire, in which station he ob- 
tained the sanctifying grace of Ged,and madethe happy 
instrument of this salvation to others; and here the dis- 
order of which he died, formed its first permanent seat 
in his feeble constitution, His next appointment was 
Marblehead, where he continued but a few months be- 
fore his consumptive complaints became so deeply : fix- 
ed, as to afford sufficient conviction that his dissolution 
was nigh. Unable longer to continue his ministerial 
labours, he left his station.and retired to his Parents. 
at Penobscet, with whom hedied, 

As a christian, in the profession both of justifying 
and sanctifying grace, he was a pattern of devotion. 
As a scholar, few have excelled him in the branches of 
literatare he pursued. As a minister, he was sound 
in doctrine, and well read in the Holy Scriptures. He - 
possessed cerrect views of gospel order an | discipline, 
and was in his life acomment upon them. __ 

He possessed in a large measure, the grand princi- 

\ pal of ministerial oratory, che hower of the Holy Ghost.. 
His last illness was a continued scene of severe af- 
fliction, great patience and much divine consolation. 
He retained his senses tothe last. With the deepest 
humility, modesty, and. ,triumph, he said, “I have 
fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith; henceforth there is. ait ) Up. for me a. : 


erown of life.” 
He sat in his chair till a few moments before the a di- 
ed; he then desired.to.be laid on the bed ; then.he de- 


2k 
sired to be put en his knees, in which position he expi- 
red on the 17th day of June 1810, with all that tran- 

ility and holy triumph which the consideration of a 
life devoted to God, a sense of the divine presence, 
and a prospect ofan eternal mrtighk of glory are cal- 
culated to Mapare: 

It isa circumstance worthy of observation, that sO 
many of our brethren in the ministry have fallen into 
the arms of death in the morning of life, and in the 
midst of usefulness. The most promising. flowers 
have been suddenly taken from earth; but we trust to 
be transplanted in a richer soil, and more favourable 
clime. While we behold with wonder, let us adore 

with trembling the government of Jehoyah, whose foot-- 
steps are in the great deep, and his ways past pare 
out. eae 

N.B. It is not altogether. of the testimony Re oth- 
ers, that I have given to our dear brother Hunt the: 
above character ; I have been intimately acquainted: 
with him, and can say with propriety, I have known but: 
few, in whom so many christian and ministerial excel~ 
lencies were united. ’ JeS.

Ss GIDEON A. KNOWLTON, a native of Con- 
_ nectieut, born in East Hadden, who departed this life 
in Whites-Town, (N.Y.) the 15th of August 1810; 
aged 51 years 

G. A. Knowlton became an itinerent preacher in 
1800, and was stationed on Cayuga circuit ; in 1801 on 
Tioga; 1802 and 1803 Ulster; 1804 Albany ; 1805 
Saratoga; 1806 and 1807 Montgomery; ‘een and 
1809 Westefn; and 1810 Mexico. 

Immediately ‘after his return from the ‘Genesee 
Conference which was held in Lyons July 1910, he 
was seized with a violent fever, that contiuued to: in- 
crease till it terminajed in death. Through the course 
of his illness he manifested an entire resignation to 
God, and frequently expressed an enjoyment of his 
forgiving love. Whilst enduring the last agonies of 
dissolving nature he frequently exclaimed, “How 
sweet is pain when Christ is near.” A few days bc- 


2 
fore his death We calfed:his wife and'two-da

‘© going to my) eternal-_home ;_ be faithful, and w. 
“‘ meet again to part no more forever.” in-consequence 
of the violence of his fevei, in’ ; days be- 
fore his exit, he was fr equently_ “delicous however, 
the day before he died, he said to his physician Tle 
most confident: manner, “J know that my Rede 
liveth” Having thus»given — ory. evidence of 

‘his confidence in God, he closed his eyes déath ; - 
and no doubt made his flight to the abodes of peace. 

Our late brother Knowlton, we believe, was a deeply 
experienced christian ; ‘a plain, practical, and useful. 
preacher. And such was his faithfulness in attenc ing, 
his appointments, that it became.proverbial i in stormy 
weather, “It°is Knowlton’s appointment,. he will be 
there; we must attend.” ‘He is taken from a worl ig 
toil and pain to reap his great reward.in heaven ; for. 
blessed are the dead which die-in the Lord from hence - 
forth;. yea, saith the Spirit, that’ they. m Bay ¢ from 
their labours ; 3 and their works do follc Ww t em.
